Super excited to publicly launch "All Day TA" (http://www.alldayta.com), a product @joshgans.bsky.social and I have been working on with our team over the last year. Short version: if you teach in spring, you will want to use this! It's the future of higher education. A short thread: 1/x

The curse of chatGPT is that students can convince their parents, their professors, and even themselves that they’re doing well at college even though they spend most of their time playing video games. But the second they have to do real work in a job or upper level class, they’re helpless

Rating of words I’m searching to use to find accounts to follow:

Xgboost: good
Difference in difference: bad, all people saying if something makes a difference
Logistic: bad, one post about regression, the rest about military
Nonparametric: good
